Question about the chicken coops at the state fair
I went to the state fair over the weekend and spent a good while looking at the poultry show barn. What really got me was how many of the fancier coops on display had these automatic doors that open at sunrise and close at dusk. I counted at least six different setups with them. It made me think, because my own coop door is just a simple wooden one I slide open myself every morning. The sales guy for one brand said it 'solves the problem of forgetting to lock them up at night.' I get the appeal, especially in winter when it's dark so early, but I worry about the power going out or the motor failing. Has anyone here actually switched to an automatic door after using a manual one for a long time? Was it worth the money and the extra thing that could break?

Honestly, that automatic door has been a total game-changer for my morning routine.
